Many of Them But Few of Us

Were served pies with no filling so we learn to love the crust Doctors supplied but no healing searching for someone to trust A floor that hides from the ceiling so a ladders not enough The door chastised for being willing to open for the likes of us Were seen as threats we just provided our opinions or insight With no regrets I've barely started slaying minions of the night No heed to death no breath departed I'm still trying to win the fight All roads go left I'm not thwarted paved my own path to the right Traps meant to kill we make them yield like dragons teeth around a shield Not better skilled just stronger willed a sword called justice we all wield Break down to nil and then rebuild before the moonlight has been spilled They pay for thrills before their bills and then they end it all with pills We are soldiers without rank sent to war ahead of tanks no exposure tombstones blank from poisoned lakes we've often drank We didnt swell or mutilate so double doses for our plates It serves them well we switched our fates already trouble on their face
